The best things in life aren’t things.
But I wholeheartedly feel that photo and video are the way to give a tangible to those best things - your people and experiences.
your
story takes us
story takes us
anywhere
Life is not for photographs. Photographs are here to remind us how beautiful life is. Life truly is art!!!! It is it is!!!! And the most beautiful art imitates life, is inspired by it.
You deserve photographs that bring you back to the truth of the moments captured and let you see YOUR STORY AS ART.
emotional. artistic. grounded.
where art &
meet
life
You care about living for the love of life. No staged perfection or forced moments. Grounded in the experience.
It's the polaroids tucked into the dashboard as you road trip West, the laughter from a new inside joke being made during a cabin weekend with your closest friends. It's the weekdays spent daydreaming about your next adventure, that next time you can break out your hammock at that lake spot you love. It’s romanticizing nights watching your favorite throwback movie in the coziness of your home, and always treasuring the life you get to have with your favorite person.
There is nothing as special as getting to experience life and love!!
I document things as they are without the performance.
documented truthfully
Experiences in nature + human connection
Heavy on the documentary-style side of things, I lean into natural movement and moments. A lot of this is inspired by working in video and what frames will fully tell a story. I don't intervene fully, just direct when needed. Your love is the muse and is perfect

"I sobbed. Everyone needs photos and video of their love like this. Everything I cared about was captured and there is no greater gift."

Hi friend! i'm elayna.
I am deeply nostalgic and that bleeds into everything I do. I collect journals, photographs, rocks, and pen drawings. I am inspired by life and by human stories. These are what make the most beautiful art.
all love is celebrated here
rooted in nature
tangible memories that won't die online
living for the experience of life
the artist
Less posing, less staging, less forced moments.
My goal and dream is to create films for couples that are the marriage between indie films and home movies. I live for the space where art and nostalgia can meet.
Video is one of the best ways to immortalize the moments - laughs, smiles, tears, hugs, words - that mean the most.
